New Anscombe Society takes on Sex Week at Yale
Congratulations to the student leaders of the Anscombe Society at Yale for starting the new student group and immediately responding to this year's Sex Week at Yale. Sex Week at Yale is notorious for hosting lectures and events that glorify sexual liberationist ideas and behaviors. The Anscombe Society at Yale brought in Princeton alumnus and Anscombe co-founder David Schaengold to offer an alternative voice to the libertine views dominating the week's events with his lecture, "A Philosophical Defense of the Sexual Counterrevolution". The event was covered by Nathan Harden in his February 13th Phi Beta Cons post "Sex Week at Yale, Day 8", as well as mentioned in The Yale Daily News. 
(For more information about this year's schedule of Sex Week events, read this series of NRO blog posts. Please note that the event reports might be too explicit and offend the sensitivities of some readers.)

RETHINKING SEX conference attracts over 20 schools in the Boston area
College students from over 20 colleges and universities gathered at Harvard University for the Love and Fidelity Network's first regional conference, "Rethinking Sex: Building Healthy Relationships in a Hook-Up World". Although conference moderator Richard Fitzgibbons was unfortunately unable to participate due to the weather, the conference continued successfully with powerful presentations by speakers John Van Epp, Arthur Nielsen, and Linda Malone-Colon. One student reported that the speakers
had practical, insightful information on relationships that bolstered our positions [on dating]... I myself benefited from what I learned, and have already started applying it in my personal life.
Another student commented:
I greatly enjoyed the mix of practicality and academia -- I think all too often in our colleges, we forget the reason WHY we study these concepts [of relationships and love], which is to apply them to the real world!
The conference was co-hosted by Harvard's True Love Revolution, and co-sponsored by Columbia's Rodzinka, Princeton University's Anscombe Society, and Providence College's Anscombe Society.

True Love Revolution and the Love and Fidelity Network was recognized in The Boston Magazine for their avid dedication to the principles of marriage, the family, and sexual integrity on campus. While the author was an opponent, we found some hidden gems in the article: "The truth is, most people on campus do not have a solid or healthy idea of what sexuality is, and if True Love Revolution is the loudest, that's a problem." On the contrary, while it is true that most people do not have a solid or healthy idea of what sexuality is, we celebrate the fact that True Love Revolution is the loudest voice on campus with this issue. Congratulations!
